It’s that time again. That’s right, the most wonderful time of the year. And you can welcome Christmas in style thanks to the return of Manchester’s favourite ski-themed experience, Bar Hütte is back at Spinningfields this winter to deliver an après-ski atmosphere like nowhere else in the city.

Christmas parties don’t get more festive than this

Last winter, the bar proved to be the standout venue of Spinningfields Square, thanks to its menu of classic cocktails, seasonal treats and live entertainment.

The ‘carol-oke’ sing-alongs are all set to be the highlight of your Christmas, thanks to the private karaoke machines fitted out in each of the ski-themed chalets, packed to the gills with seasonal faves and all the best singalong chat hits. Get ready to belt out Mariah and Slade to your heart’s content. Christmas parties don’t get more festive than this.

If you’re looking for a more traditional experience, the Alpine hüttes make a perfect escape from the frenzy of Christmas shopping. Grab a hot winter gin & tonic, and relax in the warmth, away from the hordes outside.

You can reserve a hut for groups of six to ten people, or even opt for a VIP hütte that suits up to 20 guests. But even if you haven’t made a reservation, it’s worth popping by to enjoy a drink or three in the aprés-ski bar. The fun begins on the 7th November, and runs until the end of the year.
